Any time I have to leave the house now lol

Somehow my sensory issues get worse with age.

My suspicion is that it's not so much age as the cumulative effects of cptsd. Life in this world just keeps grinding most of us down.

Yup. I'm 39 with adhd and a bunch of sensory and anxiety issues. Every day I go to work I'm anxious. I try and get through my day as quickly as possible so I can go home.
